Our i-k!iIii-'i Metaphor.
e must express oiirnuniimuoii ,
at the proficiency displayed by our
neighbor Brown, in the last num
ber of the Demtkvat, in weaving
his immense vocabulary of desonp.
tive words mto metaphors. He
seems to luxuriate iu them. hey
drop from his pliable pen with as
nmch ease and smoothness as water
rolls from a duck s back. Some ,
might think he was extravagant m
their use , but where the supplv is I

rostra,,, them. Hk paper of last
week is bloated with them They
constitute the ribs, body and blood
of nearly every editorial, squib and
local. He portrays Judge Burnett
panoplaid in impervious armor.
In one place he has him armed with
a ponderous battle ax, in another
he poises and pierces his enemies
with a loug lance, lie represents
him as engaged in numerous terrific
cmbats, is all of which he triumphs
most elol'touslv. leavni'' the hatte
fields strewn with the dead boilies
of his enema's. According t" the
Democrat, Judge Burnett is worse
than a pestilence in stocking the
grave yards of the State. These
metaphors, we think, are very good
and appropriate as applied to Bur
nett. They bring fresh to our mem
orv, (Tom our boyhood reading, the
wonderful adveutures of his distin
guished prototype, Don Quixote
De La Maneha. Don has start
ed out upon his selt-im posed mission
of rectifvtng the wrongs of mankind,
We sec him in his rusty, patched
up armor; his helmet of tin; his
long, wooden lame, and rusty
sword. His legs hang dangling on
either side of the wind-broken body
of his steed, Kosenante, and thus
equipped, be wends his way along
the dusty roads of Spain in search
of adventure : not alone, however,

true that the Democracy carried this
county by two hundred majority
two years ago ; but the Dmocrat

mountain is described as having the
appearance of a truncated cone
deeply covered with ashes, the ex
treme top presenting the character
of a narrow ledge of burnt earth
nearly two miles in circuit, enclos
ing the open crater, which has a
depth ot 5550 feet. The bottom of
this is a flat plain, nearly half a
mile in diameter. Tho first record
ed eruption was in 76, when it over
whelmed and buried llercnlaueum,
Pompeii, and Strabiae, and proved
fatal to Pliny, the naturalist The
ashes on that occasion were earned
as far as Africa. Many eruptions
have occurred since that period.
The most remarkable of these were
in 1036, 1779, 1822, 1889, and
1855.
